Adding a Pool, Bathroom or Extension in Islip? Can You Find Out the Assessment Impact Before You Build?

You are thinking about putting in an in-ground pool, adding another bathroom, or building an extension. There is another question Islip homeowners may want to ask: what could this improvement do to my property assessment?

Islip Has an Interesting Option

The Town of Islip Assessor's Office states that property owners can make a written request for an assessment estimate before adding certain improvements, including an in-ground pool, a bathroom, or an addition. The estimate is valid for one year for the improvements described.

Why Is This Useful?

Understanding the potential assessment impact before construction gives homeowners another piece of information when deciding whether a project makes financial sense. An estimate is not a guaranteed future property-tax bill.

Conclusion

The Town of Islip provides an assessment-estimate process that can give homeowners additional information before certain improvements are added.
